The Fair for the benefit of st.
Joseph's church, Washington, D. c.,
Rev. V. F. Schmitt, pastor, was open
ed Monday evening by Gen. W. S.
Rosecrans, who delivered fine ad-
dress. A large number of prominent
people were present. The decorations
of the National Rifles Armory, where
the Fair is in progress, are very elabor-
ate, and the booths are arranged in q
manner which challenges the admira-
tio2 of all visitors. A large number of
articles of great beauty and value are
displayed, and many active contests
have already begun to secure most of
them. Among the accompaniments is
the publication of a bright little news
paper entitled Easter Chimes, which will
contain all information touching the
progress and incidents of the Fair I.
The first issue announces o reform
which will be welcomed gratefully by
many visitors. 1t is stated that "the
managers have determined to abolish
the pernicious plan of soliciting votes
from attendants at the Fair" After q
brief history of st. Joseph's church up
to the Inauguration of the current
regime the paper says:
The Cardinal then changed st. Joseph's
into German-English church and assigned
limits to the parish, giving it small part of
the adjoining parishes of st. Aloysius' and St.
Peters, and calling Rev. V. F. Schmitt from
his beautiful charge in the Allegheny noun
tains, which he had built up by his zeal and
untiring labors during eighteen years-ap-
pointed him to the pastorate of St. Joseph's.
Yielding to the wishes of English and Ger
mans of the newly-formed congregation he
also transferred Rev. j. f. Donahuc from st.
Peters to assist Father Schmitt in the task
| that is before him.
1t is the intention of the pastors and their
flock to prosecute the work of completion
Immediately. Already work has been begun
on Il school building which will be large
and imposing structure The lower floor will
be used for school purposes, and the upper
floor will contain a hall S0x40 feet, which
will be used for divine services while the
church is being completed.
The Rev. Father Schmitt who has taken
upon himself the heavy responsibility of
building up the church sincerely hopes that
the charity of the faithful will be aroused in
behalf of the work, and that the Fair will be
such a success as to inspire him and his
people with new hopes and energy.

candidate for the Home sewing ma

The JOURNAL aims to supply each
minister in Frostburg copy every
week, and publish all church announce
ments desired, not as gratuities, but
as a graceful return for data concern
ing marriages and deaths taking place
